This is an interview article with Jean.
Jean’s responses are highlighted in light green.
In our previous interview, we asked Jean about the importance of “looking at yourself.”
This time, we talk about how to practice cleaning with bodily pain and discomfort.
<How to Clean with Long-Standing Pain>
── We received this question: “I’ve had pain in one part of my body for over 20 years. How should I clean with it?”
Every health concern we experience arises from memories stalled in the inner memory bank—the Unihipili. For those who have suffered illness or pain for a long time, it is essential to care for the Unihipili and build connection.
People often ask, “Does the method of cleaning change depending on the illness?”
It does not.
Whatever the issue, the cleaning process is the same.
When you start a car, you simply turn a key or press a button and the engine comes alive.
Ho’oponopono works similarly: what we do is “initiate cleaning.”
For that, it is important for the Uhane (the inner mother) to build a good relationship with the Unihipili (the inner child).
Practicing the “Care” and “Protection” of the Unihipili” is very important.
When the Unihipili is suffering in pain and the Uhane gently stays close, the Unihipili gathers the memories it can release in that moment and sends them to Divinity.
That is what it means to “begin cleaning”—just like turning on the engine.
Here is what I would share with this person:
“For the pain we have lived with for 20+ years, speak to your Unihipili like this:
‘I’m sorry for this pain we have experienced for so long.
From now on, let’s use cleaning tools together.’”
Any tool is fine—tools you eat, tools you drink, or tools you use inwardly in your mind.
When you entrust that intention to Divinity, Divinity begins to move.
Each time we use a cleaning tool, Divinity dissolves and neutralizes some memory.
We do not need to know which memory was cleared.
When we return to Zero—the state of emptiness—
we can receive blessings from Divinity.
Please remember this especially in times of suffering:
the pain is simply a “memory” being replayed within us.
Even if the cause is unknown, Divinity can release its root through cleaning.
The pain may be from an experience in this life, or it may be a memory from a past life.
We don’t know.
What matters is to keep cleaning with daily experiences.
And sometimes thoughts may arise like, “Does this really work?” “It can’t be this simple.” “I can’t believe it.”
Clean with those thoughts as well.
By doing so, we find our own blueprint and can move forward.
“Ice Blue” is also an effective tool for cleaning with pain.
<An Exercise to Rebalance the Body>
── I have one experience about cleaning with pain. Previously, I rarely practiced Physical Rebalance (what we learn in class), but since this year I’ve been doing it 1–2 times almost every day. I used to have occasional shoulder pain, and since starting this exercise, I hardly feel that pain anymore.
A Ho’oponopono instructor once told me, “Physical Rebalance is a way to connect with the Unihipili.”
Jean, how do you view this exercise?
Physical Rebalance is also a cleaning tool.
The Unihipili governs all the functions of our body, so it welcomes cleaning tools that involve the body.
When you do this exercise, the Unihipili feels, “You’re taking good care of me.”
That is because you are giving it a chance to let go of memories.
We often ask, “How can I live in good health?”
In Ho’oponopono, we emphasize balancing three aspects—spiritual, mental, and physical.
The shape of that balance differs for each person.
However, if for a long time you focus only on spiritual and mental work and neglect physical rebalancing, it becomes “a ring with a missing segment.”
Caring for the body is an expression of love toward the Unihipili.
And each time you do, the door to Divinity opens quietly.
